“Collective Worship was made much easier to plan! The videos were perfect for both KeyStages! Great resources. Thanks! 5 stars!”

“Engaging for all ages! The videos supported our children's understanding and engagement with RE. Some brilliant cross-curricula creative writing emerged as a result of the inspirational videos!”

ST Peter’s RC Primary, Rossendale

“We used these as RE lessons and the children really enjoyed the films. We were doing a piece of writing about the Easter story and the films complimented it really well. The children (in year 3) thought it was really funny that all of the characters were played by one person and yet they could easily tell them all apart. Pupils were very engaged! 5/5 stars! ”

“The concepts were explored deeply but gave staff all the resources to lead these effectively. I think they were fantastic at up levelling Collective Worship and not just repeating the Easter story but instead dived into the theology behind the story at a level inline with the Understanding Christianity RE resource. ”

“Our pupils loved the Christmas series- they adored them! Pupils were completely enthralled!”
